The wonderful writer who usually fills this Sunday spot informs me that there will be no Cuppa coming from Paul Curran this morning. He’s not feeling up to hitting a grand slam this time around. Let’s all take a moment to wish him a great week in Canada. Feel better, good sir.
Paul Curran, taking this Sunday off from sharing his Cuppa.

Feel better fast Paul. Sure hope it’s not that horrible flu that seems to be hitting everyone and their Great Aunt Tillie around here.
You take care also bro Mark.

Thanks Angie. Naw, it’s a side effect of radiation treatment I had many years ago. There is scar tissue in my colon and when it stops, I am usually hospitalized but managed to tough it out at home this time but the nausea was wild.

That sounds like an ongoing thing Paul. Better off with flu, but I’m glad to hear you were able to stay away from hospitals. Too many people die in hospitals. Strange, huh? Anyway, nice to know you are better. I like your style.

Thanks for the well-wishes to Paul, MBC, and to all of you. I’m jumping in here because it appears that he’s so under the weather that he’s not yet checking in to comment today. I know he’ll be back, though.

thanks Elyse. It is a recurring problem that is a side affect of radiation treatment. I have scar tissue in my colon and if I eat too much fiber it stops. I’ve been hospitalized twice for it but I think this time I can get it to come around at home. The issue is the intense nausea that they medicate as an inpatient. At home it just has to be endured. It is not possible to write when that nauseous.

I hope you can, Paul. I had an obstruction in April, and I recognized the symptoms from a previous, horribly painful one. Knowing what’s coming is half of knowing what to do. But I guess I don’t need to tell you that!
Do anti-nausea mess help?
